Barclays report on retirement shunned by 60% of wealthy individuals. Comment from Emma Soames, Saga Magazine:

Barclays report on retirement shunned by 60% of wealthy individuals. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11416323 Comment from Emma Soames, Saga Magazine:

Emma Soames, editor-at-large of Saga Magazine said: “Working on is to do with much more than making money - it’s to do with life enhancement and fulfilment, but, as we can see from this report, it can also mean the generation of wealth not just for the individual but for business and the economy. Older people working on have a momentum that enables them to generate established and reliable income for themselves and those around them in later life that younger people simply cannot generate to anything like the same extent. This underpins our view that the Default Retirement Age must be removed, because we believe the Saga generation is not just benefitting from better mental and physical health as a result of working on, but that so too is the economy: retirement is a cost, working on is a revenue generator.”
